The Star of India is the oldest operating tall ship in the world, and it serves as a platform for teaching people the art of sailing a large vessel. In this series of videos posted on YouTube by David the Butler, experienced mariners demonstrate how to set sails, weigh anchor, tack and wear, and navigate according to time-tested methods. The videos were produced by the San Diego Maritime Museum Association.
